  Maybe a little too early to drink would leave it for another 5 years.

  Aromatic and enticing nose. On the palette, quite sensuous and nicely balanced with hint of blue fruits. A lovely drop. BTG.

  The Barolo Boys are back (67 Pall Mall): 22mos in big botte - made very traditionally.
  
  Christmas spice, bell pepper and menthol on the heady nose, which showed some alcoholic heat (and was more pleasant than that combination looks on paper!). Big on the palate, with spice and balsamic, chunky tannin that coated the mouth and a nice fruity finish. Excellent for its level.
